Subject: Uncut
This one and http://www.archive.org/details/DrillerKillerUncut1979 are exactly the same uncut version, they just run at different speed.

However, note that in some scenes the frame is cropped very differently in the two tranfers: for example, check the scene where Dalton is on the phone at about 12:00 in this version and 11:32 in the other one (very very bad crop!).

Subject: Try the 91 minute version too
This is actually the real full uncut version.

Now something interesting,
Cut Version (censored British edition) = 94:19 Min.
Uncut Version = 95:50 Min.

There is another copy of this film on the archive that runs 91 minutes which also claims to be uncut. After reviewing the 91 minute version, yes there are small parts taken out, but from what I could tell the cuts were not a result of censorship, but rather artistic choices, and good ones at that. It appears to be a genuine third version of the film and it looks fantastic at 1.1GB in .avi widescreen format, considerably better visual quality then this copy.

I'd recommend checking that version out here http://www.archive.org/details/DrillerKillerUncut1979

All that said, thanks to the uploader of this full copy, it's valued.

Subject: Copyright Notice?
There's a copyright notice right after the words:"This Film Should Be Played Loud." The copyright notice contains both the word copyright and a "C" within a circle. Then there's MCMLXXIX which is 1979. Above the copyright symbol are the words:"A Rochelle Films Release." Wouldn't this be a valid notice?
